Nice Tips to make user profile model!
I ve done a custom user by overriding from AbstractBaseUser and PermissionsMixins, all works fine, meant first migrations and altering db_table_name.
But when I tried to add fields like gender, python makemigrations see No changes, any idea?

Hi Jim, great video! I am just wondering as I am building an e-commerce site, is Django a good choice for python, since I am only comfortable with python at this point? or should I switch to Java?
